| ere4si | cnstarz, what's up? | 01:22 |
| cnstarz | hooray thank you | 01:22 |
| cnstarz | ok | 01:22 |
| cnstarz | im trying to follow the... | 01:22 |
| cnstarz | NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition | 01:22 |
| cnstarz | however | 01:22 |
| cnstarz | when i type in "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 01:22 |
| cnstarz | it asks for my password and... | 01:23 |
| cnstarz | it says... | 01:23 |
| cnstarz | one sec | 01:23 |
| ere4si | why would it say "one sec"? | 01:23 |
| ere4si | :) | 01:23 |
| cnstarz | no im saying one sec | 01:23 |
| cnstarz | im trying to copy it | 01:23 |
| ere4si | :) | 01:23 |
| ere4si | k | 01:24 |
| cnstarz | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57404/ | 01:24 |
| cnstarz | and then... | 01:24 |
| cnstarz | when i press enter... | 01:24 |
| cnstarz | i get... | 01:24 |
| cnstarz | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57405/ | 01:25 |
| ere4si | did you delete the file in /tmp? | 01:26 |
| cnstarz | no, i dont know how to :( | 01:26 |
| cnstarz | im new to linux | 01:26 |
| ere4si | sorry - /var/tmp | 01:26 |
| cnstarz | i dont know linux commands yet | 01:26 |
| cnstarz | :O | 01:26 |
| ere4si | sudo rm -v /var/tmp/xorg.conf.swp | 01:27 |
| cnstarz | okay i'll try that | 01:27 |
| ere4si | k | 01:27 |
| cnstarz | okay it worked, and this is what i get now: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57406/ | 01:28 |
| cnstarz | this is the guide im following: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition | 01:28 |
| ere4si | you need to redo your xorg - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:29 |
| cnstarz | what does that do? | 01:30 |
| cnstarz | not that i dont trust you, im just curious as to what exactly it does :) | 01:30 |
| ere4si | sets up the xorg.conf file again | 01:30 |
| cnstarz | alrighty | 01:30 |
| cnstarz | is this gonna disrupt/change my current display drivers? | 01:31 |
| ere4si | during the dpkg you get to choose the driver for your card | 01:32 |
| ere4si | if you installed one it will be listed | 01:32 |
| cnstarz | i'll get to choose the restricted drivers for my 8800gtx? | 01:32 |
| ere4si | if you installed it yes | 01:32 |
| cnstarz | thanks, im really ignorant :P | 01:33 |
| ere4si | k:) | 01:33 |
| cnstarz | alright its asking me to choose a driver, so i guess i should pick the nvidia one since i dont see anything related to "restricted" or any other nvidia-related drviers | 01:35 |
| ere4si | nvidia is the one | 01:37 |
| eca | i just attached 2 hdds, how do i move files around on them. i see them in /dev/disk and gparted. but thunar cant open them | 01:41 |
| ere4si | eca: they will be listed in /dev - you will need to make a dir to mount them in | 01:44 |
| ere4si | eca: /dev/sdb or similar | 01:45 |
| cnstarz | alright i finished reconfiguring xorg.conf, but when i do "sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf", it still looks like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57406/ | 01:47 |
| cnstarz | should i have to reboot or something? | 01:47 |
| eca | sudo mount /dev/sdb /home/ace/sdb says mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 01:47 |
| eca | ext3? | 01:47 |
| ere4si | cnstarz, you need to log out and in | 01:47 |
| cnstarz | alrighty | 01:48 |
| ere4si | eca: does the dir /home/ace/sdb exist before you mount? | 01:48 |
| eca | yes | 01:48 |
| eca | thunar doesnt do this automatically? | 01:49 |
| ere4si | eca: is the sdb a windows disk? | 01:49 |
| eca | no | 01:49 |
| eca | ext2 i think or 3 | 01:49 |
| ere4si | linux? - then sudo mount -t ext3 etc | 01:49 |
| cnstarz | logged out and logged back in and it still looks like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57406/ :( | 01:50 |
| ere4si | cnstarz, what *buntu are you using? | 01:50 |
| cnstarz | xubuntu | 01:50 |
| ere4si | try sudo mousepad /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:51 |
| cnstarz | whats that one do? | 01:51 |
| ere4si | cnstarz, the x in X11 has to be a capital.... | 01:51 |
| cnstarz | hmm | 01:52 |
| cnstarz | haha it worked now | 01:52 |
| ere4si | mousepad is the text editor in xubuntu | 01:52 |
| cnstarz | i didn't know linux was that picky | 01:52 |
| ere4si | yah | 01:52 |
| cnstarz | well thanks man | 01:53 |
| ere4si | all case sensitive - x11 is different to X11 | 01:53 |
| cnstarz | much appreciate | 01:53 |
| ere4si | np | 01:53 |
| ere4si | did the same thing years ago when I first started | 01:53 |
| eca | ty ere4si it works | 01:56 |
| ere4si | happy for you eca | 01:56 |
| cnstarz | alrighty... | 03:03 |
| cnstarz | so | 03:03 |
| ere4si | ... | 03:03 |
| cnstarz | i followed the guide | 03:03 |
| cnstarz | and | 03:03 |
| cnstarz | the tv just goes gray after grub | 03:04 |
| cnstarz | it becomes unresponsive | 03:04 |
| cnstarz | i've exhausted all possibilities that i know of | 03:04 |
| ere4si | you'll need to dpkg again and start the guide again | 03:05 |
| cnstarz | i did | 03:05 |
| cnstarz | like three times | 03:05 |
| cnstarz | :( | 03:05 |
| cnstarz | im doing it exactly as it says too | 03:05 |
| cnstarz | it just doesnt like my tv | 03:05 |
| ere4si | are you in the recovery kernel? | 03:05 |
| ere4si | live cd? | 03:05 |
| cnstarz | i was on here first, in terminal. i saved it, shut down, plugged the tv in, then started it back up | 03:06 |
| cnstarz | and got the gray screen | 03:06 |
| cnstarz | then | 03:06 |
| cnstarz | i went thru recovoery console | 03:06 |
| cnstarz | and tried it again thru there | 03:06 |
| cnstarz | same thing | 03:06 |
| cnstarz | i mean | 03:06 |
| cnstarz | i reconfigured throuh recovoery console | 03:06 |
| cnstarz | i didn't follow the guide through the console | 03:06 |
| cnstarz | i followed the guide only on here | 03:07 |
| ere4si | what's the link to the guide again? | 03:07 |
| cnstarz | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition | 03:07 |
| ere4si | and your tv model | 03:07 |
| cnstarz | sony wega | 03:07 |
| cnstarz | 51" | 03:07 |
| cnstarz | lemee see if i can find the exact model name | 03:08 |
| cnstarz | http://www.epinions.com/pr-Sony_Grand_WEGA_KDP-51WS550_51_in_Rear_Projection_HDTV_Television | 03:08 |
| cnstarz | the tv connects through component into a video dongle that looks similiar to svid, but isn't svid | 03:09 |
| cnstarz | which then plugs right into my card, next to the two dvi connections | 03:09 |
| ere4si | in a terminal type lspci and look for the card - should have two listings | 03:10 |
| cnstarz | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57421/ | 03:10 |
| cnstarz | didn't mean to quit out | 03:11 |
| ere4si | can you post your xorg.conf? | 03:12 |
| cnstarz | sure | 03:12 |
| cnstarz | one sec | 03:12 |
| cnstarz | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57422/ | 03:13 |
| ere4si | ok - now you have a standard xorg.conf - nothing for your tv | 03:15 |
| cnstarz | you can see the svid-like connection that im talking about here: http://www.hummercommunity.com/files/hfpics/8800GTX_768_PCIe_WC_Side.jpg | 03:15 |
| cnstarz | right | 03:15 |
| ere4si | you have to do the guide again - but before you save it post it and I'll check :) | 03:15 |
| cnstarz | alrighty | 03:16 |
| cnstarz | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57423/ | 03:19 |
| Knowledge | anybody in here have any experience with toshiba tecra 8100 laptop and xubuntu installs? I can't seem to get anywhere with it...just black screen of death or system reset | 03:22 |
| ere4si | cnstarz, 1st section device - remove usefb line and add screen (0) | 03:25 |
| ere4si | screen 0 | 03:26 |
| cnstarz | so it should look like Option"screen 0""true"? | 03:26 |
| cnstarz | oh you mean remove the whole line | 03:26 |
| ere4si | nope - look at the guide | 03:27 |
| cnstarz | hmmm | 03:27 |
| cnstarz | oh i c | 03:27 |
| cnstarz | i remember doing that last time, but i added it under the usefb | 03:28 |
| cnstarz | i'll try replacing it this time | 03:28 |
| ere4si | that line in screen - Screen 1 "Screen[1]" RightOf "Screen[0]" - means you have to have both screens going at the same time | 03:31 |
| cnstarz | right | 03:31 |
| ere4si | k | 03:31 |
| ere4si | ok - save the file - then connect the tv - then ctrl+alt+backspace and login | 03:32 |
| cnstarz | alrighty, here goes | 03:32 |
| cnstarz | what the crap, it worked | 03:35 |
| cnstarz | murphy's law! | 03:35 |
| ere4si | yah :) | 03:35 |
| ere4si | have got to be accurate :) | 03:35 |
| cnstarz | what would i have to edit to get it to show up only on the tv now? | 03:35 |
| ere4si | let me look | 03:35 |
| cnstarz | thanks, i really appreciate it | 03:36 |
| ere4si | put a # in front of "Right like - Screen 1 "Screen[1]" #RightOf "Screen[0]" - save an ctrl+alt+bspc | 03:38 |
| ere4si | *and | 03:38 |
| cnstarz | alrighty | 03:39 |
| cnstarz | so it should look like this: | 03:40 |
| cnstarz | Screen 1 "Screen[1]" #RightOf "Screen[0]" | 03:40 |
| cnstarz | with "Screen 0 "Screen[0]"" right above it? | 03:41 |
| ere4si | all the same except for the # in front of "Right" | 03:42 |
| ere4si | yep | 03:43 |
| cnstarz | so it should look like this, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57424/ | 03:43 |
| cnstarz | im just making sure im understanding you correctly | 03:43 |
| ere4si | yep and yep | 03:44 |
| cnstarz | alrighty | 03:44 |
| cnstarz | here we go... | 03:45 |
| cnstarz | negative | 03:45 |
| cnstarz | the desktop is still there on my tv, but now i just cant move the mouse into it | 03:45 |
| ere4si | on both one or none? | 03:45 |
| ere4si | k | 03:46 |
| ere4si | ok - undo what we just did and save and ctrl+alt+bksp while have a search | 03:46 |
| cnstarz | alrighty | 03:47 |
| cnstarz | what if i did this? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57427/ | 03:47 |
| ere4si | ok - found a howto | 03:51 |
| cnstarz | ok | 03:51 |
| cnstarz | brb | 03:51 |
| cnstarz | back | 03:52 |
| ere4si | in the first device section put a # in front of screen 0 - like # screen 0 | 03:54 |
| cnstarz | got it | 03:54 |
| cnstarz | should i restart x? | 03:55 |
| cnstarz | or are you still looking? | 03:56 |
| ere4si | and in the server section | 03:56 |
| ere4si | put a # like - #Screen 0 "Screen[0]" | 03:56 |
| cnstarz | got it | 03:56 |
| ere4si | restart x then | 03:57 |
| cnstarz | alrighty | 03:57 |
| ere4si | oops | 04:04 |
| cnstarz | negative | 04:06 |
| cnstarz | it seems like it tried to make my monitor display in hdtv | 04:07 |
| cnstarz | monitor display was all garbled, and TV didn't work at all | 04:07 |
| David_ | What is the system requirements for this distro? | 04:08 |
| David_ | i have a 500 mhz with 192 mbs of ram | 04:08 |
| David_ | can i run? | 04:09 |
| ere4si | David_, yep - but 192mbs ram is the min for the live cd | 04:09 |
| ere4si | will run ok when installed | 04:10 |
| cnstarz | brb | 04:10 |
| ere4si | k | 04:10 |
| David_ | Awesome :D do i need to download the alternative install cd or the regular version | 04:10 |
| David_ | i couldn't get ubuntu to wok | 04:10 |
| ere4si | David_, with that mem I would use the alternate cd | 04:10 |
| David_ | okay | 04:11 |
| ere4si | cnstarz, you set it up for hdtv - try ntsc or pal - the guide says what is right for your area | 04:11 |
| David_ | will the gusty gibbon work? | 04:12 |
| ere4si | David_, yep | 04:12 |
| David_ | awesome, Thanks sooo much lol, windows xp runs a tad slow on that old machine | 04:12 |
| David_ | lol | 04:12 |
| ere4si | cnstarz, we forgot a # in front of "Right " to block the last screen 0 | 04:13 |
| ere4si | brb | 04:16 |
| cnstarz | alrighty im back | 04:30 |
| cnstarz | sorry | 04:30 |
| ere4si | . | 04:30 |
| cnstarz | what did you say? | 04:30 |
| ere4si | k | 04:30 |
| ere4si | and is it ok? | 04:31 |
| cnstarz | im back to the piont where both screens are up | 04:31 |
| ere4si | great - lets make a backup of that xorg.conf | 04:31 |
| cnstarz | alrighty | 04:32 |
| cnstarz | is there a way to restore the backup from recovery console? | 04:32 |
| ere4si | sudo cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak | 04:32 |
| ere4si | for the backup | 04:33 |
| cnstarz | that backs it up or restores it? | 04:33 |
| ere4si | backups | 04:33 |
| cnstarz | gotcha | 04:33 |
| ere4si | then to restore - cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:34 |
| ere4si | from recovery you don't njeed sudo | 04:34 |
| ere4si | *need | 04:34 |
| cnstarz | alrighy | 04:34 |
| cnstarz | this'll save a lot of time | 04:34 |
| ere4si | :)) | 04:35 |
| ere4si | I missed one # in our last effort - in front of "Right" in the server section | 04:35 |
| ere4si | and have you changed it from hdtv to pal or ntsc? | 04:36 |
| cnstarz | nope | 04:36 |
| cnstarz | its still on hdtv | 04:36 |
| cnstarz | the edge kinda clips | 04:36 |
| ere4si | look in the guide for what you need in your area | 04:36 |
| cnstarz | alrighty | 04:36 |
| ere4si | just change the hdtv part and test - if it's ok we'll back that up first cnstarz | 04:38 |
| cnstarz | so it should look like this? | 04:38 |
| cnstarz | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57429/ | 04:38 |
| ere4si | and with the # screen 0 in the first device section | 04:39 |
| cnstarz | ah ok | 04:41 |
| ere4si | so that's 3 #'s added cnstarz | 04:41 |
| cnstarz | right | 04:41 |
| cnstarz | and i changed HD1080i to NTSC-M | 04:42 |
| cnstarz | saved, here goes | 04:42 |
| ere4si | if you've changed the hdtv part then restartx | 04:42 |
| ere4si | k | 04:42 |
| cnstarz | nope didn't work | 04:48 |
| cnstarz | monitor became garbled, and tv stayed blank... | 04:49 |
| cnstarz | then... | 04:49 |
| cnstarz | i unplugged the monitor and rebooted | 04:49 |
| ere4si | . | 04:49 |
| cnstarz | and the tv turned gray | 04:49 |
| cnstarz | and got stuck | 04:49 |
| cnstarz | like before | 04:49 |
| cnstarz | so i plugged the monitor back in and restored that backup | 04:49 |
| ere4si | have you used the backup file to get back? | 04:49 |
| ere4si | k | 04:49 |
| cnstarz | yes | 04:49 |
| ere4si | the howtos that I can find all have just one device section and are a little old | 04:50 |
| cnstarz | hmm | 04:50 |
| ere4si | I wonder if we comment out the first device section and the screen 0 lines whether that will do the job | 04:51 |
| cnstarz | wouldn't hurt to try | 04:51 |
| ere4si | # = comment out | 04:51 |
| ere4si | then the first device section - every line should start with # | 04:52 |
| cnstarz | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57432/ | 04:52 |
| ere4si | and the section screen with screen 0 - the first one | 04:53 |
| cnstarz | hmm? | 04:54 |
| ere4si | and the line in the server section with screen 0 and before "Right" | 04:54 |
| cnstarz | i got the server one commented out | 04:55 |
| ere4si | there are two section "screen" - the first should be commented out as that is the monitor | 04:55 |
| cnstarz | ohh | 04:55 |
| cnstarz | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57433/ | 04:56 |
| ere4si | paste the whole xorg pls | 04:57 |
| cnstarz | that should be the whole thing | 04:57 |
| ere4si | yep - be brave and have another go :) | 04:58 |
| cnstarz | ;P | 04:58 |
| cnstarz | brb | 04:58 |
| ere4si | k | 04:58 |
| cnstarz | nope | 05:03 |
| cnstarz | lol | 05:03 |
| cnstarz | i think it hates my tv | 05:03 |
| ere4si | I should have looked closer - in the server section you put the # in the wrong place - | 05:03 |
| cnstarz | same exact thing as before | 05:03 |
| cnstarz | BAH | 05:03 |
| ere4si | should be next to the "Right" | 05:03 |
| cnstarz | ohhhh | 05:04 |
| cnstarz | ya i see | 05:04 |
| ere4si | do it again and repaste the xorg pls - if you want :) | 05:04 |
| cnstarz | yeppir | 05:04 |
| cnStarz | nope | 05:11 |
| cnStarz | same thing | 05:11 |
| cnStarz | i think i'm done for tonight, wife is home and wants to watch a movie | 05:11 |
| cnStarz | i really appreciate all your help | 05:11 |
| ere4si | for now you may need to boot with the monitor then move the mouse over to tv and turn monitor of... | 05:12 |
| cnStarz | g2g, thanks again man, take care. | 05:12 |
| ere4si | k | 05:12 |

| burner | hi! i'm trying to install xubuntu in my carputer, using a 7" LCD monitor | 08:25 |
| burner | when X (i guess) starts, the screen is filled with noise - which slowly fades away.. | 08:25 |
| burner | hard to explain.. its like a big blue cloud - becoming smaller, and eventually the screen is all white | 08:27 |
| zoredache | a 7" monitor? | 08:34 |
| burner | zoredache, yeah.. | 08:36 |
| burner | hm | 08:37 |
| burner | 8" actually | 08:37 |
| zoredache | You might want to try the alternate install cd | 08:37 |
| burner | :P | 08:37 |

| nazdalf | maxamillion: yes..do u happen to kno things about tht....Wiki says,supported on embedded Intel i810 through i965 graphics cards....does mine qualify? | 14:50 |
| maxamillion | nazdalf: yes | 14:51 |
| nazdalf | maxamillion: thts gr8....ty....btw, as i understand it, to get aiglx configuerd fr my PC all i need to do is add sm code to xorg.conf?? | 14:52 |
| maxamillion | nazdalf: yes, that should be all you need since you have the correct intel driver in the config file already | 14:53 |
| nazdalf | maxamillion: ty for ur help......err, do u hav compiz on ur PC?? i mean since i m new to linux i shud do sm basic things instead of trying to get compiz to run...lol... | 14:55 |
| maxamillion | nazdalf: i used compiz for a short time, but it ultimately didn't add any functionality and certain effects annoyed me, i don't use it anymore | 14:56 |
| nazdalf | ohh..... | 14:56 |
| maxamillion | nazdalf: its cool for showing to your windows using friends and saying "look what else windows can't do" but other than that i didn't find it very useful, i'm a full time college student with a full time job, i don't have time to not be productive | 14:57 |
| nazdalf | maxamillion: ohh ....ya...i m installing it jst fr tinkeeing around with linux...;-)...i m a full tym coll student wid no job :)) | 15:02 |
| maristo | hi | 15:04 |
| nazdalf | hello...... | 15:05 |
| maristo | where .trash-bin directory is situated? | 15:05 |
| maristo | i mean, desktop's bin | 15:05 |
| maxamillion | maristo: i don't remember, just a moment | 15:06 |
| maristo | I need delete files there, manually, with root privilegies, but don't know it's location in fs | 15:06 |
| maxamillion | maristo: oh, well you can just launch thunar with root privilages ... open a terminal and type "gksu thunar" it will prompt for the password and then you have a file manager with root privilages :) | 15:09 |
| maristo | good | 15:10 |
| maristo | haha | 15:11 |
| maxamillion | ? | 15:11 |
| maristo | there is root's bin only | 15:11 |
| nazdalf | maxamillion: wow...so can we open n edit files thru ther?? no need fr sudo mousepad filename | 15:11 |
| maristo | i must to know location of user's bin | 15:11 |
| maxamillion | maristo: ok, this time instead of doing 'gksu thunar' try 'gksudo thunar' | 15:12 |
| maristo | same thing, only root's bin | 15:14 |
| maxamillion | hmmm | 15:16 |
| maxamillion | ok, just a sec | 15:16 |
| nazdalf | umm...i m confused with smthing i apparently hav 910GL and GMA 900 graphics.....whts d driver?? | 15:22 |
| maxamillion | nazdalf: should just be 'intel' driver | 15:24 |
| nazdalf | maxamillion: thnks a lot again.... | 15:29 |
| maxamillion | nazdalf: anytime | 15:30 |
| xubuN | WLAN driver help needed with xubuntu , is ndiswrapper preinstalled? | 15:36 |
| maxamillion | xubuN: no, i don't believe it is installed by default | 15:41 |
| xubuN | thanx, for an old (2003-4) pcmcia WLAN card, should be the 1st try the ndiswrapper? | 15:43 |
| maxamillion | xubuN: it depends on that card chipset | 15:46 |
| maxamillion | xubuN: it might have support | 15:47 |
| xubuN | chipset not able to find on the net, any tips for SIEMENS SANTIS PCMCIA wifi card? | 15:53 |
| eca | im increasing a partition from 230 to 233 gb and its been 8 hrs with 3 hrs to go, somebody kill me plz. gparted says if i stop the process severe damage may result, and its important data. | 16:51 |
| maxamillion | eca: yeah .... with a partition that big, if there is a lot of data ... it will take quite a while | 16:53 |
| Buff | i'd like to make the xubuntu-desktop optional by having my system boot to the terminal by default so I can use the desktop only when I need it (this is a server). It seems like the init.d/gdm script is what I need to mess with. I did gdm stop and that does take down the desktop but leaves me with no termnial at all. Any tips? | 16:56 |
| zoredache | Buff: after you do an gdm stop press ctrl-f1 | 16:57 |
| zoredache | when you stop it, it will be on a tty tha doesn't have anything attached to it | 16:57 |
| Buff | is there a way to just not have it boot at all by default? | 16:58 |
| zoredache | sure... uninstall gdm, or delete the file /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm, or edit the file /etc/init.d/gdm and make the second line of the file be 'exit 0' | 16:59 |
| zoredache | either one of the three choices would disable things | 16:59 |
| Buff | zoredache: thanks. would I still be able to fire up the desktop from the terminal if I did that? | 17:00 |
| zoredache | yes, use the command 'startxfce4' | 17:01 |
| zoredache | or simply startx | 17:01 |
| Buff | zoradache: works perfectly, thx | 17:06 |
| zoredache | np | 17:06 |
| boogieman | Hello all, i'm running xubuntu 7.10 on a Compaq 6710a notebook | 17:17 |
| boogieman | The problem is that my notebook's 'presentation key' does not work | 17:18 |
| boogieman | normally, when we press FN + presentation key; it should direct the current screen to the projector | 17:18 |
| boogieman | any idea on how to get this working? | 17:18 |
| zoredache | boogieman: I have found that on my dell, things work after i do a reboot. I have never taken the time to figure out why though... | 17:24 |
| boogieman | zoredache: thanks for responding. what is the procedure. 1. plug the projector cable. 2. switch on the projector 3. reboot my notebook 4. press the FN key? | 17:26 |
| boogieman | zoredache: unfortunately i don't have the projector with me to test it | 17:26 |
| zoredache | boogieman: yea, that is pretty much what I do... You could test with an external monitor if you have one | 17:27 |
| boogieman | zoredache: thanks. I don't have one either. anyway i'll give it a try tomorrow and see | 17:28 |
| zoredache | you might also want to try hitting the presentation button before the login screen | 17:29 |
| zoredache | so right after the computer boots... that way the external display should be detected and X will detect it | 17:30 |
| eca | can you switch with screen and graphics program? | 17:35 |
| eca | or is that 8.04 | 17:35 |
| nazdalf | err.....i got an HP a1210in desktop PC...it has EM64T processor...is tht a 64bit processor on which 64-bit ubuntu 7.10 run properly?? | 17:53 |
| zoredache | yes, the 64bit version should be able to run on that... | 17:55 |
| zoredache | I don't guarentee things will work 'properly' though | 17:55 |
| zoredache | my brief experience with 64bit was that it is still a mess... Particularly if you want/need non-free codecs, binary drivers, ndiswrapper, flash.... | 17:56 |
| nazdalf | zoredache: ohh k......thnk u | 17:57 |
| maristo | hello | 18:07 |

| Dusti[n] | will xubuntu run my wine games better? | 21:19 |
| TheSheep | Dusti[n]: better than what? | 21:22 |
| ere4si | should be a small improvement - maybe | 21:22 |
| TheSheep | not really, maybe a little faster startup, on machines slow enough to notice | 21:23 |
| mvoltz | The Sheep: I got Fluxbox up and running. Thanks for the help yesterday | 21:26 |
| TheSheep | mvoltz: great | 21:27 |
